These images tell a story that the world’s elite have been writing – unaware – for years. It is a story of those who will no longer accept the crumbs handed to them by fortune-hoarding CEOs and the politicians who hang upon their financial, marionette-like strings to do their bidding.

It is the story of a day in which I (David_EHG) began marching as my city, Pittsburgh, finally awoke. It is a day in which many thousands throughout the United States and across the globe were simultaneously marching. A day in which we – in solidarity – lifted our voices to the marble castles and demanded economic justice.

For we are all, truly, the 99 percent.

Photo of Diane McEachern, who writes:A lonely vigil in remote Alaska. I’m wearing a muskox neck warmer (that is not a beard on my face) and I am a woman. The dogs are rescues. The tundra is outside of Bethel, Alaska. The day is chill. The sentiment is solid. Find your spot. Occupy it. Even if it is only your own mind. Keep this going…
